 ABOUT THE PROJECT

Project '06 is a passion project that aims to

recreate the original Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
for PC with all kinds of changes and improvements.
Primarily a huge enhancement job to provide a better
game experience and to let cut, scrapped and
new concepts breath new life to the game.

There is no interest in getting the project

officially recognized. It is purely driven by passion
and is treated as a hobby. The intent is to
keep the essence of the original game
still present.

This is a non-profit project, no money from it

is made, and will continue to be free forever
to, most importantly, respect the owners
of the franchise, and cause, as it’s always been...

All characters and materials in relation to Sonic

the Hedgehog are copyrights/trademarks of Sega
of Japan (SEGA Co., LTD). This product has been
developed without the permission of SEGA, therefore
it’s prohibited to sell/make profit off of it.

 USER GUIDE

• This game does not need emulators or additional

files to work, it is a fully standalone application
and can be played by running the executable.

• When installing the game, it is recommended to

make a fresh install. Avoid pasting the new files
on top of older versions as it may cause
functionality issues.

• Using older data files created by the game such

as“Settings.bin”and“File(n).bin”should be
avoided as they may contain obsolete readable
data/missing functionality parameters. It is
recommended to let the game create these on
its own (unless these files are from the same
version of the game).

• This game is currently aimed at mid to high end

PCs. While in active development, it is difficult
to perform optimizations outside of the solutions
that Unity already offers as the assets of the
original game are notoriously unoptimized. Once
development of the base game is finished we
will make an effort to optimize the game and
improve performance.

Resolution (Rare)
Resolution may sometimes randomly get
set to native in an instance of the game
but gets set to the saved one when booting
the game up again.

Glowing Outlines (Unusual)

Glowing outlines may get visually crushed
or their resolution may get changed
if messing with the game window in
specific ways.

Animation Bugs (Unusual)

Animations sometimes may bug out (just
the way Unity animators work I guess,
they’re pretty hard to work with).
